Sharp's Memory LCD technology delivers high-contrast, high-resolution displays that allow for denser content than many other types of same-sized LCDs. Sharp's Memory LCD modules embed 1-bit memory in every pixel to enable each pixel to hold state while requiring very little current. This delivers an "always on" display that uses little power (only a single supply voltage is required), even when updating images. This helps designers create products with exceptionally long battery life. It also eliminates sweeping images or "ghosting", because only the part of the image that requires updating needs to be changed. The response time of Sharp's Memory LCDs makes it fast enough to display motion video. Bold and crisp black images are delivered by high-resolution capability in a small diagonal display.

A lightweight, two-glass design, plus an integrated driver in the panel, provides an exceptionally thin module that's perfect for compact handheld, wrist-top, and other small-screen devices that benefit from displaying rich content. Incorporating the Memory LCD into a design is simple with 3-wire SPI serial interface (SI, SCS, SCK).

1.26" HR-TFT Memory LCD

The Sharp Microelectronics LS013B7DH01 1.26" HR-TFT Memory LCD Display Module features a 1.26" black and white transflective panel. This high-resolution dot matrix display delivers smooth graphics and the flexibility to import rich custom content. Sharp's LS013B7DH01 1.26" Memory LCD Display Module offers very low power consumption of <15µW (typical with a static image) to deliver flexibility in a design's power budget. Users will also enjoy ease of integration with this elastomeric LCD, as no connector is needed. Just align it with a circuit board and make immediate contact.

1.28" HR-TFT Memory LCD

The Sharp Microelectronics LS013B7DH03 1.28" HR-TFT Memory LCD Display Module is ideal for digital wristwatches and other small-screen applications, with a 3V input voltage that makes it compatible for operation with a single cell Lithium ion battery. Its high-resolution dot matrix display delivers smooth graphics and the flexibility to showcase rich custom content.

1.35" PNLC Memory LCDs

Sharp Microelectronics LS013B4DN04 1.35-inch PNLC Memory LCDs are loaded with features that deliver a display capable of smooth-moving graphics, with 50% reflectance and low power usage of 12µW. The LS013B4DN04 thin 1.35-inch display with FPC connection comes with a flex cable that simplifies the connection to the display and allows for different mounting methods. These Sharp Microelectronics 1.35-inch square LCDs are visible in a 0.5 lux environment without requiring a light source. A 1-bit memory circuit is embedded into each pixel, which retains the pixel information once it's written.

Sharp's PNLC (Polymer Networked Liquid Crystal)- type silver metallic Memory LCD display delivers a luxurious image while adding style to your product design, as well as provides an option for a sub-display with continuously visible information. High 50% reflectivity offers excellent outdoor readability and quick response time accurately tracks scrolling of text and images. The Sharp PNLC Memory LCD is composed of a PNLC layer formed between a transparent surface electrode and mirror-reflective pixel electrodes. The PNLC modules uses a scattering mode of incoming light rays and does not require polarizers, which results in a very bright reflective display
and uniform viewing at any angle, even in high ambient light. A backlight is not required.
